Warning

WIDE-YEDtofu — Sat, 22 May 2010 16:01:04 +0000

A visual representation of a short recording taken from an internet radio channel programme where listeners call in to read the love poetry they have written. This paragraph is a brief warning announced before the start of the programme.
I chose to represent it as a joke, rather than taking it seriously, because obviously a warning serves no purpose in such a context. The final piece is a square banner, referencing Futurist typography and the structure of a radio script.

‘I should’ poster series

WIDE-YEDtofu — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:50:43 +0000

letterpress & digital posters

The idea of not helping the reader decide on hard-to-decide issues but instead play a mind game, is the objective of this poster series. It brings out private thoughts which constantly runs through our heads but which we may not translate into words or communicate it to others. The poster reads both ways – ‘I should not ____’ and ‘I should’.

* I should NOT THINK (white on pale cream)
